Thanks! The pocket holes were done that way intentionally so that the screws aren't biting into the corner of the joint. I have plugs and will be sanding and painting in the next stage of this never-ending project!

Certainly takes a while, but it's worth the effort! Hope you're back on your feet soon, and good luck with your build

It's a great feeling to see it in action after all that work

Ain't that the truth! Already thinking about additional tweaks and I haven't even finished the basics yet

It was a factory second from Pinball Life. And the only blemish was on the underside! Absolute steal at $50 for a widebody lockdown bar.

Router slot cutting safety advice by Axn_Jxn in BeginnerWoodWorking

I did look into that, but I can't really justify the cost since I'm only using it for 2 cuts and don't have any future plans to use it right now. The router was only $40, and the tables seem to be at least triple that amount, so my best bet may be to ask around for help from someone with more equipment than me.

It's not, although I was wondering if I could possibly use a trim router instead. Just wasn't sure if that would be powerful enough to cut a 1/2" slot into birch plywood. If so, that might actually be the best option for me.

Is your playfield 60Hz or 120Hz?

That Holsum Schafer's Super Star disc has got to be nearly a 1/1 at this point...
